Ezekiel 36:22-32

God has so much Love
We know this is true
Which is why He calls us to Love others
But there are times our faults
Go beyond mistakes
In revealing His Love to our brothers

God will not allow our hard hearts mistaken
For the presence and shape of His Love
He gives us new hearts, and not only this
A New Spirit and more than enough

More than enough to make us consider
The way we’ve revealed Him before
Do the nations that see and relate to us
Know His Holiness & Love are assured?

Or do we reveal that God is our tool
There to perform for us as we please?
The way we’ve shown God to be ours alone
Should lead us to time on our knees…

Isaiah 65:17-25

A pamphlet about New Creation
For God’s people still living in old
It may surprise some people today
No mention about streets of gold

The people of God are created
As a delight and sources of joy
No weeping shall be, nor cries of distress
And 100 years is still a young boy

His people build houses and vineyards
Able to enjoy every fruit
When we need Him near, he’ll be right here
Before His presence we recruit

The promise extends for generations
And the wolves will feed with the lambs
Together you’ll see natural enemies
Existing together in God’s plans

These are conditions we cannot muster
We cannot manufacture these things
No matter how many laws we can change
Or how beautifully our bands sing

But this is the heart of our Savior
Revealed in prophetic brochure
Unattainable for us, but not cast aside
His vision we cannot ignore

Each of us is able to join
In revealing this grand heart of His
For He later reminds us, that anyone in Christ
Old is gone, and New Creation is…

Numbers 21:4-9

How could they not trust, it’s easy to ask
We are quick to point and to blame
But if we allow ourselves to be humbly honest,
Remove our comfort, and we do the same.

It almost seems cruel, the Lords’ response
To the honest cries of His sheep
To send deadly serpents to hear their complaints
The price they paid seems too steep

But we see His heart, the heart of a Father
Accused of not loving His child
It’s easy to see how their accusations
His righteous anger had riled

He loves His children, provides for their needs
And knows that to trust Him means living
It’s not just about opening our hands
To receive all the gifts that He’s giving.

To look toward God in accusing distrust
Means living already in death
Denying the One in whose image we’re made
The one who within us gave breath.

It wasn’t that God sent serpents to kill
And that is the end of the story
The serpents revealed they were dying already
And to live meant returning to give Glory.
